| gateway. Hardware that connects incompatible networks by providing the necessary translation for both hardware | and software. | GBIC. Gigabit Interface Converter. A removable serial transceiver module designed to provide gigabaud capability for | fibre channel (FC) and other products that use the same physical layer. | Gbps. Gigabits per second. | GBps. Gigabytes per second. | gigabit. A unit of information equal to one billion bits. | hardware translative mode. Method for achieving address translation. The following two hardware translative modes | are available to a QuickLoop enabled switch: | v Standard Translative Mode: Allows public devices to communicate with private devices across the fabric. | v QuickLoop Mode: Allows private devices to communicate with other private devices across the fabric. | HBA. Host bus adapter | ID. Identification. | interswitch link (ISL). A fibre link between two switches. | IP. Internet protocol | ISL. Interswitch link. A fibre link between two switches. | isolated E_port. A port that is online but not operational between switches due to overlapping domain ID or | nonidentical parameters such as E_D_TOVs. | IT. Information technology. | JBOD. Just a bunch of drives. | L_port. A loop capable fabric port or node. | LAN. See local area network. | LED. See light-emitting diode. | light-emitting diode. A semiconductor chip that gives off visible or infrared light when activated. | LIP. Loop initialization procedure. | LLI. Low level interface. | local area network (LAN). A computer network located on a user's premises within a limited geographic area. | loop. A configuration of devices (for example, JBODS) connected to the fabric by way of an FL_port interface card. | loopback test. A test in which signals are looped from a test center through a data set or loopback switch and back | to the test center for measurement. See also loop. | LWL. Long wavelength | MAP. Maintenance action plan | MIB. Management information base. The information that is on an agent. It is an abstraction of configuration and | status information. | multicast. Multicast is used when multiple copies of data need to be sent to designated multiple destinations. | N_port. The N_port is the designation of an equipment port connected to the fabric. | NL_port. The NL_port is the designation of an equipment port connected to the fabric in a loop configuration using | an FL_port. Glossary 141
